You *can* install a 1.9TD without raising the deck lid.  Most people
prefer not to do it that way, though.  I've heard there are lubrication
issues because the turbo ends up so low compared to the oil pan.

Personally, I think when it's time to re-engine my Westy I'll go for a
1.9L normally-aspirated diesel.  But that certainly won't make it faster
than a wasserboxer. ;)
